Correct, I do want something less zingy than rounds but a bit more lively than flats, it's quite a can of worms when you try to find info. I had'nt considered Elixirs, any body using these on fretless....thanks for help thus far............cygnus x-1

I had read this pinned thread, I understand the pro's & cons of rounds v flats but when it comes to internet shopping I dont know which strings are half/semi e.g. are the D'Addario pro steels? I realise its a bit of trial & error but knowing a good place to start helps a lot, thanks, cygnus

One of the things I like about this fellowship is, you can ask a daft question and people dont answer as if you were a numpty (hopefully?... only joking) anyway after having fretted bass for a few years, I decided to get a Squier VMJ fretless. The thing I want to know is, it came with roundwounds fitted and they dont really give me that fretless vibe I was hoping for (a bit zinggy if you know what I mean). I imagine flats might be a bit extreme the other way??, so what do people think of half/semi wounds on a fretless? I've read all the threads I can on here about strings but I'm no clearer. What would you fretless guys recommend and because I would have to buy on the net (local shop only sells rounds) where are the best deals? Thanks in advance, long live Rush...........cygnus x-1

Hi, anybody got any experience of those cheap (£65) swift lined fretless precision copies on e-bay, are they just to cheap to be remotely half decent? I fancy having a try to learn fretless but there doesn't seem to be anything under £200. I wanted to pay about £120 ish. I dont want to pay a lot incase I dont like fretless/can't play it. If I get on OK with fretless I would get a better one as funds allow. Or any ideas on 2nd hand lined fretless to look out for?..Cygnus-x1
